With my storyboard requiring extra time to complete, I decided to put myself through a bit of a ‘crunch’ in order to catch up on the animatic. The reason for this is that I didn’t want my work to suddenly begin losing detail at such a vital stage of the development process. I completed my […]
With Alec’s instructions, we were tasked to have a group animatic completed soon. There was no in-person class and so I did not meet up with my group to discuss any groupwork, but instead took the time to complete the task. I wished to add more detail to my storyboard before turning it into an […]
Returning to our flour sack friends, Alec introduced us to secondary actions during this week’s lecture. To be quite honest, the idea of animating two connected things at two different speeds seemed quite taunting at first. Fortunately, this seemed to be one of those things that I already understood in the back of my mind. […]
With a rather lengthy lecture, not much time was left for the groupwork. I was happy to present my character design to the rest of the group, which they all seemed to like! Beyond that, we split up the story into segments, assigned each segment to a group member and began working on these segments […]
During this week’s lecture, we took yet another step with animation, by animating a jumping flour sack… I guess you could say we took a leap… No? Okay. Timing was a major focus in this, with certain parts having more frames, effectively making the movement more fluid, while others used less frames to represent speed/physics/gravity. […]
With world designs and characters covered, the groups had been opened and everybody was allowed to choose which group they wish to work with. At first, the group I was in appeared to remain intact. After observing the impressive work from each member over the last few weeks I was really looking forward to creating […]
Week 7 was yet another trip down the not-so-distant memory lane, with Alec introducing us to animating in Krita and tasking us with making some gifs of bouncy balls. During the foundation year we did something very similar, which in effect made me feel much more comfortable when I went to try it out again. […]
Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the class on the 4th week. My group had been tasked with generating colour palettes for our world, which is an exercise I believe I would have very much enjoyed. The palettes my group had come up with were closely related to how I imagined them to be, with […]
